Post a Message app for iPhone and iPad

Do you sometimes leave sticky notes for your friends and family? With Post a Message you can leave a voice recording at a place of your choice, be it the refrigerator door in the kitchen, or your co-workers desk. And you do not have to be physically at that place to post a message; an internet connection is all that is needed. You do not write the note down or type, just speak, and the app will deliver your voice message, when the recipients phone approaches the selected place.

How does it Work?

You need iBeacons, one for each place where you and your contacts will post messages to one another. An iBeacon is a miniature battery powered radio transmitter. This technology was developed by Apple for indoor location applications. Typical examples of iBeacon apps deliver department store promotions, guide tours in a museum or provide directions at an airport terminal. Post a Message brings this technology to your home or office. What is a “place” that your iBeacon will mark? It can be the kitchen counter, a friend’s car or the door of your boss’s office, you decide. 

To post a message for someone go to the Post a message screen, select the recipient and place, record the voice message and press Post. When the recipient’s device comes near the selected place, it will chime and the app will play back your recording. Then the message is marked picked up on your device.

See instructions in the app on where to get the beacons and how to assign them to places.
